Whenever I, I close my eyes Then I don't mind being the way I am But whenever I try explaining why I know I never can
Now that it's Gone, paths I used to travel Gone, things I used to handle Gone, once I had a choice what to be
But then God kissed me And I lost it when I fainted in his arms Have pity on me brother, I'm trapped behind the mirror I'm out here on the border
Wondering why, why was it I? Maybe my mind wouldn't have come this way If I'd taken my time, answers only unwind When you can't look away
Maybe 'cause I want the secret broken I want the casket open I need to see what no eyes can see
And when God kissed me Then I dreamed them when I fainted in her arms Now I've got to go on sleeping Lean in a little closer and I'll tell you what I'm dreaming I'll tell you what I'm dreaming
I see time without beginning Space without an ending I see bodies strong and running With minds not comprehending
Have pity on your brother Please have pity on your sister Take pity on each other And on every living creature, have pity somebody
Whenever I open my eyes, I can't believe it's real It's a jungle outside, yes it is, yes it is People just survive They can't reach the high ideal
But I know if I can't recover At least I know, I know the book from cover to cover And who knows? I might dream forever Since I've met the world's greatest lover
When God kissed me And I knew it when I fainted in his arms Let's dream together people
Have pity on your brother Have pity on your sister, please Take pity on each other And on every living creature
We're all trapped behind the mirror Out here on the border, yes we are Please have pity
Pity on your brother Pity on your sister Pity on each other Every living creature
